This is an extract from the State Highway Log that shows Rest Areas and Weigh Stations along State Routes. State Route identifiers and locations based on State Route Mileposts and Accumulated Route Mileage are also included for geographic reference and for use with the Washington State Department of Transportation's 24k and 500k Linear Referencing Systems.

Purpose:

To enable Geographic Information System users to more easily display and analyze a subset of the data contained in the State Highway Log in conjunction with the Washington State 24k and 500k Linear Referencing Systems.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional information can be found in the "State Highway Log", Electronic State Highway Log Data Definitions.doc, and the DOTarmcalc01.txt through the Point of Contact below. This data reflects the published State Highway Log Planning Report 2013.

The data contained within the State Highway Log is collected and updated using contract plans, field reviews and information provided by numerous WSDOT Regional and Headquarters offices as well as other county and city sources. Due to the diverse sources of this data, no accuracy statement is available. Also, this data may have changed since the publication date. If you find an error with this data and can provide updated information, please contact the GIS and Roadway Data Office (GRDO) at (360) 570-2361 or fax (360) 570-2400. We are continuously looking for sources to provide us with quality information.

Values were obtained from the Transportation Information and Planning Support (TRIPS) database.

Completeness_Report:

The data contained within the State Highway Log is collected and updated using contract plans, field reviews and information provided by numerous WSDOT Regional and Headquarters offices as well as other county and city sources over the course of a year. This data may have changed since the publication date. Only those records that have a SRID (State Route Identifier) found in the Washington State Highways at 24K Linear Referencing System can be graphically placed as events. SRIDs that have been added or revised since the completeness date of the LRS will not place, nor will SRIDs for road features not carried by the LRS.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The excel spreadsheets were imported into a file geodatabase. From the file geodatabase, route events were created for the corresponding routes. Route events were exported into feature classes, merged into one data set, and duplicate records were dissolved. If errors, error messages were reviewed. An EVENTERR column was added, 0 = No Error and 1 = Error.

Data originated from the TRansportation Information and Planning Support (TRIPS) mainframe database which in turn then feeds into a sequel database which offers greater flexibility in reporting. The information is then extracted using the tool Hyperion and exported into the Excel format.

Rest Areas and Weigh Stations, typically published in the State Highway Log, that are located along Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) highways, including interstate, U.S., and state routes with limited Geometric information.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: BegAB

Attribute_Definition:

Beginning State Route Mile Post A (ahead) B (back) Indicator - Indicates whether the milepost value is the 'back' duplicate of a milepost value 'ahead' on the route. This is due to a change in route length caused by a re-alignment that would lengthen a route. Ahead values have an implied 'A' (blank) Back milepost values are shown as 'B'.

Facility Type Code - A code that represents a type of site or building, owned, leased, or surplused, on or adjacent to a Trafficway.
